Repurposed

There is a new restaurant not far from where I live called Taco Guild and it's occupying a building that was once a church. They kept the stained glass windows when they remodeled and added their own church-like touches such as candelabras, angels and murals. They serve an interesting array of tacos in some very non-traditional formats like steak with blue cheese and lamb with creole aioli.

I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. This time I explore a cemetery from the Victorian era.

I love repurposed church buildings, though sometimes they seem a little sad, too. The old Episcopal church in New York City that became the Limelight nightclub, for example, was always a bit down-at-heel, and it seemed inherently inappropriate to have all that partying and debauchery going on there.
